Love Affair ~ Forevermore

It’s the day after Valentine’s Day, and love is still in the air! David is a master of the love song – from the butterflies-in-your-stomach pangs of your first Crush to the wonderment and magic that There’s Something ‘Bout Love to the bittersweet heartbreak of being A Little Too Not Over You – David’s ability to interpret and communicate these emotions is a big part of what draws us to his music and keeps us craving more.

Can you believe it’s been a whole year since we first learned that David was releasing an OPM album of love songs as a gift to his fans in the Philippines, as well as to fans around the world? He was busy filming Nandito Ako, but still took time to create an album that celebrates love and was made with love for us, his fans, who are always suckers for a love song…. especially if it’s a love song being sung by David.

We were blessed with amazing photographs from the Forevermore photo shoot and were introduced to the very talented photographer Arlu Gomez. Just love all of these photos!

The Official Forevermore Music Video

Filmed at Pin’s home, the official music video of Forevermore is pure dreamy romance resplendent with long, soulful gazing into the distance and all those close-ups of his hands and eyes – it’s no wonder that the vid has garnered over 1.7 million views – well on its way to 2 million! Let’s give it a few more views, shall we?

Hearts all over the world tonight….

While we’re on the topic of love, there’s a song that David sang on American Idol that I think he got a bad rap for (no it’s not a rap song) – and while it wasn’t his most stellar performance, primarily due to being a bit nervous, I still think his rendition was better than the original. David chose it because it was a pop song, better suited to his age, and I think he was trying to break away from just being known as the “ballad singer”.

It wasn’t polished or perfect, and the dancing was a bit awkward (we love awkward) but I do think that if David performed it today, given his additional years of experience on stage and that he’s become much more comfortable performing live and moving and dancing on stage – I bet he would KILL IT! Just imagine him singing this in Spanish with an Enrique Iglesias kind of vibe!

Fan Tribute Vid

My Wish for David Archuleta (creidt: davidfankimbee)

* * * * *

Wishing everyone a Forevermore Friday! Let’s all request Don’t Run Away from our local radio stations! Gift them a download of the song to play on the air! Tell us in comments if you hear DRA on the radio! Have a great day!

Good morning everyone. Is there a link to this tracklist? I’ve been asking all morning. lol People keep talking about 17 songs, but no one is posting the link to it. I’m curious what is on there. Even if it is fake.

Thank you for the great post Kalei :D, Love that buzzes are still comming steadily. David really spent qulity time in the Philippines and we all benefit from it love Forevermore, Tell me is my fav on there.

FABULOUS POST Kalei! The forevermore album is at the top of my list…LOVE every song!! Nandito Ako *sigh* …REALLY want to hear David sing that LIVE someday! THANK YOU Arlo for those AMAZING PICS of David! EVERYTHING from Nandito Ako and the forevermore album is INCREDIBLE ! Looking forward to 2014!

Guys….There are two bonus tracks…and NO titles listed???? Who knows what the official tracklist is….interesting where they got this from?? Can’t wait!!

I wonder if that tracklist is legit? If so, I’m happy to see Notice Me and She’s Not You on there but DISTRAUGHT that Senseless is not. WHAT?? Oh my lort!! That’s right, I said ‘lort.’ That’s how devastated I am. Don’t try to console me. I cannot believe it. I’m inconsolable.

Lol. At the doctor’s office having to get a Glucose Test done. It’s a 2 hour test. Yuck! Oh well, guess I’ll catch up on some reading.

Happy TGIF, everyone! Thanks for the wonderful post, Kalei!
DA14 passes today, 2:24 pm EST….exciting and kinda scary too…..yikes!
Hope we see the official tracklist s**n! I’d love to see Senseless in that album too!
Driving to CA tomorrow morning….had a fun time yesterday sightseeing, eating and shopping here in Vegas….thinking of relaxing mostly today….no gambling….haha…

Ksf! if it is not on the cd I will have to download it somehow from ytube and believe me I’m not into that or do I know how to do it. But I will get it somehow. That song spoke to me upon first listen and I love the angst in David’s voice in that song. lol

If that list is accurate, it’s good that some of the songs released on the Asian Edition of TOSOD might be released on a CD here in the States, but I’m way more eager for the ones I haven’t heard. Heh…

Personally, just the fact that David is giving us another album so soon after BEGIN., I don’t think I will be disappointed if my favorite is not on the album. I do believe there are many aspects of chosing songs that we don’t know about. Do the writers or co-writers have to agree to have the songs on the album? Can they clean up the leaked demo to make it album ready? Many questions and the fact that David worked so hard to get things ready for us before he left, leaves me unable to be upset if the song I wanted on there doesn’t happen to be there.

Kari responded to a tweet earlier that it’s not the official tracklist. And that unless it’s from twitter, facebook, or his official site, then it’s not real. I will have to find the tweet and bring it over here.

Grannycrush- I get that. Please excuse me as I was just being dramatic. I absolutely agree we are so very lucky to get all this music even with David being gone. As I was looking at the Youtubes for Senseless I did notice it has a lot of hits. But if the writer/s or all the powers that be connected to this song are not on board, it doesn’t matter what we want.
I just like to let the Powers That Be know how much I like this song in case they monitor for fan requests.

Ksf- I know right? It gets us all talking about something at least and gets us excited for things to come. I can’t wait to get the official one. I really hope Senseless is on there. I can’t wait to hear the mastered version of that song, instead of just the demo.

Let Me Go is not on but heck yeah I’m happy because we getting 17 more songs to go crazy about. But I wanna know why David didn’t escaping the pain before he get crush by these beautiful distractions. U gotta run cause you know they are not a very good liar. Sorry guys I am a little too happy today just ignore me.

That Behind the Scenes with Arlu was just so good. I loved how he said David had the song recorded before he got his cameras ready. People have said that before from the very beginning that David can get a perfect recording done so fast. He doesn’t need a bunch of takes and autotune to make him sound good. I love the picture of David and the keyboard.

OoO When I first heard Let Me Go, I thought “hmm” what’s this about? But I really liked it. Got the Deluxe edition of the album and I still play it bunches.

Call me quirky but I like Your Eyes Don’t Lie. I heard it live in San Antonio and he was so cool and the whistling too. Think it’s time to go back in time and revisit some of the live performances. Thanks to David and co. we have lots to sample.

U-know I really love any song David recorded and put out but there are just some songs that really inspire me to continue to play over and over again. Have to say I love his songs on “Forever More” cd because his voice sounds stellar to me. Love his first cd and out of the leaked songs of “Senseless” is my favorite along with “She’s Not You” off of TOSOD “Who I AM” and off Begin just love his version of “True Colors”. Actually love them all but these are my standouts.

NAVGL, If I Could Only Be, Senseless, She’s Not You – those are songs that need to be on the CD. Because they are pretty much unreleased. There’s no way to currently buy them, yet we’ve heard them before at concerts and leaked studio versions.

It would be a bit redundant for some of those other songs (like Notice Me, Wait, etc.) to be released yet again. haha. I love them and all, but yeah.

Wow I forgot how wooh wooh this sounds. This is YEDL in Manila and he sounds more mature singing it then when I heard it in San Antonio. Hope you enjoy. The screen behind David made me a little queasy when I would look at it so if you are prone to motion sickness just focus on David. Yeah, like we don’t do that already for the most part. ha ha

U KNOW i AM SO PROUD OF HIM. AND I KNOW HE WANTS US TO BE PROUD OF HIM TOO HE SAID THAT IN HIS VLOG RIGHT AFTER HE FINISHED FILMING A LITTLE TOO NOT OVER YOU. OH AND ALL OF HIS SONGS ARE MY FAVORITE TOO.;p

I am not so sure David would never sing Senseless on the album. He did a bunch of love songs on Forevermore and according to what we know he hasn’t experienced all those love connections. He really sounds like one hot Honduran on this song. All angsty and passionate and devastated.

I must go now before my bubble bursts.. ha ha just being dramatic again.

Saw my co-leader Jerianne at the store this morning (I recruited her into a serious David fan. LOL) She had her little girl Sammy Jo with her (she’s almost 5) and she heard us talking about David. She said “I like “Bam-Bam-Bam”. Jerianne knew what she was talking about and told me. Let’s see if you all know your David songs well enough to know which song Sammy-Jo is talking about (or her interpretation of what he’s saying). He-he.

Yes sir ree me too tami lyn. But one of the most exciting things about David is his many many facets. He is just wonderful! And there are just as many who love David’s happy view of the world. I love it too but life is not always like that and I love to hear David’s voice give me a song that is relatable to me in some of my not happiest times. I know from having lived quite a few years that there is always hope but to have my less than happy feelings acknowledged helps me to feel I am not the only one.

Kim – At this point I don’t CARE what suits him. I just want that SONG!!! Lol. LaLiliana is right. On Forevermore he sang plenty of songs he couldn’t relate to. It’s a great song so he needs to look past it and put it on the album!! (I’m only half kidding).

tami lyn – Boof, girl! So right. I’m tired of always hearing that. If he can only perform what he relates to, he never could have done NA or countless other projects either. A great song is a great song so just do it. Maybe some of his fans CAN relate to it. He can just follow it up with a really inspirational song on the album if that makes him feel better. All of this may be moot cause maybe there’s a reason he CAN’T put it on the album or maybe it will actually be on the album after all.
I’m anxious to see.

@DavidArchie is up for most anticipated album! Few days left 2 vote until SEMI FINALS: http://bit.ly/WF8dsV @FanScene @KariOnTour , <— please RT! Show some David love over here please go-getters, super voters, power trenders! ♥

On David’s first tour I absolutely loved his medley of songs. Especially the way he perform “One”. Talk about a song that might not fit. lol Well he took and performed that song live and it just blew me away. How I wished he would have done the whole song. Also loved the other covers in the medley. lol

Philly fan me too maybe one day. Barriers is another song.
I loved his first tour and his first cd.. a bit more mainstream.
who knows what he will do when he gets back.
I hope he goes for it and grabs the brass ring!

Kimberly Ann, I’m with you I sure hope he grabs the brass ring.
Philly fan, yes I love the angst in his voice and I agree that it really brings out the beauty of the tone of his voice, sigh, wishing he was here to promote his work…
So excited to gets my hands on that album, don’t care what songs…I know I’ll love them all…

I’m sorry guys but I can’t resist. We really do need different forums on this site. This posting would go under the “Music That David Would Love/Amazing Talent.” forum. Lol. Feel free to scroll past if you must.

there are already lots of fansites for supercutie lazaro! i think he will inspire fans to be fanatic just like we david fans are! it’s not just about his voice, it’s everything about him, just like david!

cq – Not a bad idea. Actually, anytime we “spazz” about talented artists we also honor David since he LOVES talking about talent and great music. It takes nothing from him to do that, especially if that’s only A PART of what we talk about here. As I said earlier, if David wasn’t in Chile, he’d be sending out his usual tweets about the amazing artists and music that is out there.

Omg the more I watch her videos in that link you posted Ksf, she is fantastic. If she isn’t in the top two or the winner then I don’t know. I would buy her album right now. Her covers are better then the originals by far another reason she reminds me of David.

ok for those of u are probably getting annoyed by my continuous use of boof! it’s from me and ksf’s privatge convo on twitter. i was talking about the book of mormon but instead i typed boof of mormon! and instead of fixing my typo decided i would use it as our secret code word but now it’s not secret anymore LOL! just in case anyone was wondering

I like Lazaro too, he seems like a real nice guy ad it’s cool he likes David. I think I need to hear him sing more cause im not sure just yet about his voice. It is amazing that he doesn’t stutter when he sing though.

Tracy – Isn’t that amazing? I’ve noticed that about a lot of people — when they sing their accent or any impediments seem to vanish. Btw, have you seen Angela’s YT performance vid — “District Council 2010″? Gorgeous song.

only negative thing i would say about angie’s voice is maybe a lack of uniqueness in the tone. like if i just heard the voice don’t know if i would recognize it as hers, if that makes sense. like the problem pia toscano had. an amazing voice but not super recognizable.

Ksf, you are so right, not having David here is so different and of course, it really leaves less and less stuff to talk about David, but he did leave us with music to speculate about that is going to be release next month and of course, if his single had done real well on the charts, maybe the conversation would be about him. I realize that everything can’t be about David, so your right, go ahead do what you must. I’ll stop commenting for now.

Tracy – Another thing that reminds me of David is that she sings like she does in spite of a challenge. She has a hearing loss — I think 40% in her right ear and 20% in the left. Kinda reminds me of David and vocal paralysis. Neither of them let these things stop them.

cq – You don’t have to stop commenting. If there’s something else you want to talk about then post. I just think that getting excited about music is what David is all about, even if its not directly about him.

Evening all. Hope all had a lovely Valentines Day. Kalei, great post as usual. The pics and videos were fun to see and hear again. I love the Forevermore pictures. The one at the keyboard shows him in a different light. I like it. The convo is very interesting. As to the songs, we’ll just have to wait and see. “Anticipation”!! As long as I can hear his VOICE, that’s all I need. So now we have a smokin’ hot Honduran on our hands. Yeah we knew that.

SGJ>>>> I’m here. Have been lurking since i got home. Didn’t have much to add.
Getting ready to go to church for the Stations of the cross. My confirmation kids are participating.
So i will be leaving again. I wish the would bring FOREVERMORE to the states. He sings it so beautiful.

Of my gosh Tami lyn, I have no problem answering your question, lol. I am female. So funny that you had a hard time figuring out what sex I was.
Ksf, I know what mean, yes, as I said you are right, nothing going on right now in regards to David, so should be glad that at least the site is active. I’m such weirdo sometimes about fans forgetting about him that I go a little goffy, lol

cq~ thanks for answering i wish i could think of something interesting to say about david! all i can think to say is~ i’m very grateful he did this new album for us, i think this was way beyond all our expectations but i just wish he would come home. my fear is that when he does come home he won’t tour and i will never get to meet him

Hi tami lyn. Hi Linda Gonna be a three day holiday weekend. Wish I was going somewhere. It was 55 degrees today here in N.J. Smelled like spring . Loved it. Wonder if David got our Valentine mail yet. Wish I knew when we could start requesting DRA. I’d love to hear his song playing on the radio. Just before they announced the new album, I was at my daughters for a few days. She told me that when she stopped in WaWa for coffee on her way to work they were playing David Archuleta “Crush”. That’s how dhe put it. At the same time my grandaughter and I were playing scrabble on my IPad. Out of know where A picture of “Christmas From The Heart” album picture appeared. I said, It’s David, all the way from Chile!! He’s trying to tell us something. I know, I need a rest home. But yea, it was sure weird. The next day the NMHF album was announced.

the other thing that bothers me is~ we never got to find out david’s real feelings for jasmine. she made it quite clear that the chemistry between them was real. and i love that she was willing to share that with the NA fans but it’s the kind of thing david won’t share, and while i understand he wants to keep things private, that is the very thing that makes me believe he is not interested in the kind of fame that means fans get to hear about his personal life. it’s healthier for him as a person of course but for us fans it means things can get boring and if we want to find out anything that he does or feels we need to be super ninjas.

ksf~ no i think she’s awesome especially because she sang in church and lead the WT so i always find that interesting and very nice! guess i just lean more to the kooky types like kez ban cuz there is no mistaking her for someone else. and this is what happened to one of my good friends. amazing amazing voice, she sang in church and school and community events and then moved to nashville and everyone thought she would be a big star but it didn’t happen and i think it’s cuz when u hear her on the radio we aren’t sure it’s her. she sounds alot like a couple of other big country stars and maybe she will still get her big break someday but it’s just so weird cuz her voice is so amazing live like david but not super unique.

tami lyn- I know what you mean. I’m hoping when he is interested in someone we will know. We might not hear it from him, but the girl he is interested in will have people she knows acknowledge it. If I were the lucky girl I’d want the whole world to know that I was in love with the sweetest person on earth, David Archuleta. (Cough) (cough). Getting a little carried away. I just hope I live long enough to see him with someone he loves and makes him happy.

sgj – thanks! It’s good to “see” you too. You always have the most wonderful things to say. Any plans for the three day weekend?

tami lyn – Yeah I would have loved to be a fly on the wall during NA to see how they interacted between scenes and filming. But, I understand the need to keep some things private, even though we’re dying to know. As far as Angie goes, hopefully that doesn’t happen to her and she gets signed even if she doesn’t win AI. I have to have her music. I think I officially have OAD.

sgj @8:50 – ITA about wanting the whole world to know. Even if I didn’t tell them I think people would know anyway from the permanent goofy grin that would be plastered on my face. Lol. Love has a way of doing that.

ksf~ yes it will be very interesting to see who gets in top 10! so weird how winning doe not guarantee success and then someone like jennifer hudson who comes in 7th goes on to have major success/fame. then we have the 2 davids who really don’t seems at all obsessed with fame. they just want to make a living doing music. hopefully they can continue to do so, seems to be getting harder every day.

ksf- Unfortunately , no. How about you. This girl, Angie you are talking about. I watched the AI girls group night. She was the one in the orangey top on. I said to Mr. SGJ ,”Now out of all of them this girl is good”. Missed the next night. She has a terrific voice. Is her name Angel? Oh, David, we have an Angel for you!!!

2 more examples~ taylor and justin. clearly not the greatest singers but huge superstars! why, why, why??? does anything make sense anymore?! david should be way more famous than justin but maybe it’s as simple as~justin wants fame, david doesn’t. does not bode well for us.

don’t remember what interview it was but david said something to the effect that he wants fans to just focus on his music not his personal life. so as smart as david is, he doesn’t know/understand that fans want all of him not just his music.

HI EVERYONE!!!!! I have been missing in action since Thanksgiving because I have been buried under an unrelenting series of HUMONGOUS projects at work that has taken me 2 1/2 months to finally complete. I was literally doing little more than working, sleeping and eating. Unfortunately, my home computer also crashed at Thanksgiving and I have been too busy at work to get it fixed, so I have had no access to the internet until now. Not being able to check on FOD everyday was the worst part!!! I have never gone more than a week without checking on FOD, and that was only when I was on vacation and had no internet service. I missed all of you so much and I am SOOOOOO HAPPY to be back!!!!!!!!!!!

tami lyn- I agree, that being said I think he has seen all the trapings of fame on his travels. He is so astute that is why IMO he is going his own way and on his own terms. In that interview the other day he said he likes to do things his way. He is a fast learner and sees what the price of fame can and has done to people. Someone said he is a trailblazer and think people in the business are starting to take notice that the shy, rambling boy is a very smart young man who they hope makes it his way.

sgj – No, no plans. I’m kinda glad it’ll be a relaxing weekend. The girl from AI is Angela Miller. I actually didn’t pay much attention to the groups but her solo performance last night was absolutely incredible. She sang an original song and is pretty much the one to beat. Janel posted it last night but here it is if you haven’t seen it.

By the way I AM OVER THE MOON about David releasing another album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YIPPEEEEEEE, WOWZAAAAAAAAAA, HOLY GUACOMOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely LOOOOVE Don’t Run Away, and I never imagined that after all he has already given us, we would get yet another album of music, and not just any music but songs that he he helped write!!! EGAD, I think that I have died and gone to HEAVEN!!!! David is too good to us! (Sorry about the unrestrained squeeing but I have 2 1/2 months of pent up David enthusiasm to get out of my system! LOL!)

Tami lyn, you have a point, David is a bit unrealistic when it comes to having fans only focus on his music, it doesn’t work that way for most, if not all, singers, entertainers, etc. I however, I think he could have a balance. Be happy to have somewhat of a private life and still give what his fans want. I’m in it for his music anything fun that doesn’t hurt him privately, is just a bonus, lol.

tami lyn – yeah it’s frustrating but we’ll have to wait and see what happens down the road. It’ll be interesting to see what he decides to do once he comes back because I think you’re right that he doesn’t really want superstardom.

Hey tami lyn……Did Jasmine really spill the beans about real chemistry between her and David??..What did I miss???? Haven’t watched Idol in several weeks…..Who is this Angie and what style of singer is she…..Is she visiting the David fan sites???? What’s up?????? Miss Vicki

I plan on going back and reading each and every post and comment that I have missed, if its possible to go back as far as Thanksgiving. It will probably take me forever, but it will be such a joy to catch up on the goings on in the archuniverse. Does anyone know if its possible to go back that far??

miss vicki~ omg yes! i point blank ask jasmine on twitter about david and she replied(in capital letters no less!) she tweeted~ THE CHEMISTRY WAS REAL! i saved that tweet of course but cannot access it. i think twitter is archiving tweets and only lets people go back so far to check old tweets which sucks cuz i have alot of interesting tweets/pics/etc that i cannot access!!!

cq – You’re right. There are celebrities that have a wonderful balance. Beyonce, for example, is a huge star but she’s managed to keep her private life mostly private. We get a glimpse every now and again but we don’t know everything. Adele is another good example of that.

Hey guys….gotta share something with you…..My hubby took me out for dinner for Valentines Day last night and gave me a Pandora bracelet…..one of the charms was a musical note and I asked him why he chose that charm. He said it was because I was always listening to my David music……Love him to pieces for that charm….Miss Vicki

Hi Miss Vicki! Thanks! I will probably have to stay up late many a night to catch up, but it will be so worth it. I have a feeling a lot of amazing stuff happened while I was gone!! I can’t wait to find out!

Elysian!!! I swear, I was just about to write a comment to say how much I missed your beautiful writing and to ask if you were ok!! I am not kidding. I am so glad to see you back!!

I’ve decided for various reasons to go back to lurkdom, at least for now, and didn’t want to do that before asking about you…..so funny and unbelievable to me that you just popped up?!! …..I’m so happy to say hi to you before I go! I’ll look forward again to your comments! Get that pent up spazzing out!! Love it!

Hey guys….watched the video of Angie Miller on solo night on Idol….WOW…..just WOW….I’d say it’s time for a lady to win Idol this year and and this is the one to beat…..BTW……Sarahazel….Hope you are having an awesome time out West….Have a great trip to Cali…Doesn’t your daughter go to school out there??? Miss Vicki

HI Bychance!!!!!!!!!!!! Great to see you, and how sweet of you to be thinking about me!! Now that I’m back, you simply cannot go back into lurkdom!!!! You’re one of my favorite people to talk to and I love your comments! If you go into lurkdom, it will be even longer before we can chat, and I won’t stand for it!! There, its decided then, no lurkdom for you!!! WOW, I got so assertive while I was away! LOL!

ksf- Thanks for the video link of Angie. Yeah no, that’s not the girl I was talking about. She was in that group but the girl I saw was blonde and had a real strong voice. I’d have to hear Angie again. I didn’t care for the song. Next week, I’ll pay more attention.

i don’t think a girl has much chance of winning. i think most of the viewers are female and vote for their favorite cute guy. i was shocked when that chubby dark haired boy got eliminated on thursday! he sounds as good or better than adam lambert!

Miss Vicki- It’s great that Mr. Vicki goes to David’s concerts. Mr. SGJ is always ready, willing and able to go to David’s concerts with me. When David was going to be in Myrtle Beach, I put my finger up to the wind and said make reservations we are going to South Carolina to see David. He said okay and went to his computer. He’s a keeper too.

i think david is smart to not chase fame cuz like lady gaga said`~it’s dark, lonely, and disturbing. i do believe it probably is alot of the time. but kinda sucks for us but ultimately i do want david to be happy.

supergrandjudie- Your comment about how your husband doesn’t surprise you but instead usually asks you what you would like as a present made me chuckle because sometimes, when husbands are left to their own devices, they can go astray. For example, when my husband and I were dating, he was so excited about a gift that he had bought me over the internet that he was beaming. It turned out to be a smartmop!! Nice mop, but not what I was expecting given his level of enthusiasm. The next time, he bought me a leather mini skirt, and I am defintiely NOT the leather mini skirt type!! Like you said about your hubby, mine meant well but sheez!! He evidently wanted a leather clad, mop weilding girlfriend, and he decided to get me gifts so that I could fulfill that fantasy LOL!

Nice talking to everyone. Did we find out from Janel what Bam-Bam-Bam was from?? Hello Janel, we give up. Tell us please. I said Drummer Boy. I’ll wait a little for an answer and then it’s goodnight for me.

Bychance, why are you going back to Lurkdom!? It’s not because you felt you said something wrong the other day is it? I don’t recall you ever saying anything bad.

Elysian, lol, welcome back. Love your squeeing. I still haven’t heard the new song – I wanted to keep it as a surprise but now that I think there will be some new songs on the album i’m beginning to think I may as well enjoy and squee and spazz over this song while we wait.

Cq, Tamilyn…lol…i used to think of Cq as a man too until one day she said something which made me she was a lady. I’ve been mistaken for a man on the internet in the past too cq.

Aww Elysian, you make it hard! I just need to take time for a few things and felt good about taking a break from comments………..and then you come along!!… dog gone it!..doubly hard! I will still be here spazzing and supporting our guy no matter what, and maybe I’ll pop in now and then. Just so glad you are still around! It’s funny how you can care about someone you’ve never even met………meaning you, not David lol! …although the same goes for him! Take care!

Bychance- Aww, Bychance, I feel the same way about you. I firmly believe that you can tell alot about a person’s charatcter based upon what they write in comments, which is why I don’t want you to go, but I understand if you need to take a little break, and I emphasize little! I will miss you and hurry back. I hope to be around when the mood strikes you to pop in!

Elysian….bwhahaha! Your hubby is sweet in a funny, quirky, kind of way. lolol He cares, that is the main thing right.

Tamilyn….do you think it’s possible for someone to be mistaken about supposed chemistry? Especially when they are.acting?

Either way….we know that david is a pserson who tries to conjure up the emotion for a song.(and scene) and with Jasmine being a pretty girl, i’m sure there was.some chemistry. To be expected really. Funny thing is….did he also conjure up some chemistry for Eula? Probably did. Wonder if he felt he was two timing his girls? lolol
I guess there is a difference however between conjuring up some chemistry for a pretty girl during an acting stint and actually seeing more deeper things in a person that would cause him to want to pursue something real. I think that part is the missing link. Jasmine’s a nice girl and all, just don’t think she’s david’s type.

Elysian- ROTF :lo: I got a Joan Crawford sweater once, you know what that is? A sweater with shoulder pads in it. Ugh terrible. Oh and a Christmas gift once was a Meat slicer, the kind you see in the deli. Some gifts were beautiful like a full length Silver fox fur coat and jewelry but that was after I started to tell him what I would like.

Shanny- You’re right! Its not the gift, but the thought! I must admit, I made good use of the mop. The skirt on the other hand is still in the closet with the tags on. I kept it all these years because it makes me crack up everytime I see it! LOL!

supergrandjudie! I totally know what a Joan Crawford sweater looks like! LOL! Wow, a meat slicer may just beat my smartmop! He definitely got better in the gift department after you started to give him hints! He takes instruction well! LOL!

Well, I really hate to leave, but I am going to have dinner with the family. I had so much fun chatting with you all, and thanks for welcoming back so warmly!! It means a lot!! Like Arnold says, “I’ll be back” on a regular basis again to comment, when I am not catching up on the past few months of posts. Have a fantastic weekend everyone!!

Bychance, well I will honestly miss you. You were a quiet comfort to me. But I fully understand. Seems to be the way it is I guess. Do pop in when you can and love and best wishes always.

Tamilyn….well really, I guess I was saying I think we can’t know for sure if there was chemistry but I think we could make a pretty good guess – and my guess is…yes, there was chemistry but it was brought about by david willing it into existence expressly for the purposes of acting.

shanny~ u could be right but i tend to think that someone as sophisticated as jasmine would be able to tell if it was real or not especially since david is not an experienced actor, or is he? lol sometimes i think he is fooling all of us with his innocent act.

Bychance, I just reread what I wrote. Didn’t mean to send you on a gult trip in any way! Sorry if it came across that way. Was.just trying to express myself as well as I can in a public manner. Seriously….take care and love and best wishes to you. Do what you gotta do. All is good.

Shanny…oh, thank you, I feel the same. I wish I could explain , but it would not be a good idea here…. just need to step back for a bit. I shouldn’t have said anything………anyway, love and hugs to you, too!

Tami Lyn…funny…i was thinking Jasmine was young and probably not experienced in the ways of love and romance. But …shrug…it doesn’t matter because I think there probably was chemistry. Sure, david was conjuring it up for acting (and yes, I think he is expert at tapping into his emotions) but it was still real enough there in the moment.
But if it wasn’t for the acting gig, I doubt there would have been any chemistry cos she’s not his type, even though she’s pretty.
I feel like what i’m trying to express is not coming through the written word very well….

tamilyn….oh, I really didn’t mean to cause a cirfuffle…how’s that for a word! You, and all of you, are great. I didn’t realize there would be a response…..shouldn’t have said anything. But with people’s kind words, i unexpectedly got a little emotional. What really lovely people David’s fans are!

shanny~ i think i know what u mean. on the surface jasmine seems way too glamorous and sophisticated for david but there is part of me that thinks maybe it’s the other way around! lol cuz we will never know thanks to david’s obsession with secrets

Bychance, lol…now you’ve brought tears to MY eyes! and i’m not even sure why. I think I feel your heart a little. I know your predicament in saying goodbye – you don’t want to just fall off the face of the planet without saying goodbye to people you care about but it kind of makes it complicated when you do say goodbye. lol Been there, wrestled with that dilemma myself before – a few times. lol
Lets just say…till we meet again.

As far as David goes, I agree with Kim. I don’t think any of us really know what David’s type is since we haven’t actually seen him with anyone and we don’t actually know him. Lol. Having chemistry with someone and being attracted to them is very natural and often goes beyond race, religion, etc… And, sometimes opposite personalities do attract. Jasmine definitely wants to be a star while David seem to be content with a more relaxed sort of life, but that doesn’t mean that they did not have real chemistry outside of NA. Practically, it may not have made sense for David to pursue anything serious but that doesn’t negate any real feelings that were possible. Only time will tell what type of girl David falls for and it may be a shock to us all.

Okay, now I’m really going. Kimberly Ann fan of one smokin Honduran you are kilig me with all those smokin pictures. The one from tv5 I’m keeping. Never saw that before. Have to go. Thanks for the player.

Tamilyn, yes interesting observation. David IS sophisticated. Just not in the ‘obvious to the world’ way.

Kim, they are two different types of personalities and jasmine is kind of all the things david has said he doesn’t like about the entertainment business. I’ve explained myself more fully before, I’m feeling lazy this time. lol Anyone remember what i’ve said before and want to explain? lol I’ll try to remember and answer more fully on another day, maybe i’m all tired out from my DINKing.

Tami lyn @10:19 that’s a funny quote from Lady GaGa….fame being: lonely, dark and disturbing…why would she continue to act/dress the way she does for the public if she didn’t want…isn’t that for attention and fame. I have said all along that David would be able to handle fame with class and dignity and would be able to balance his private life with his professional life. I’ll never give up on David’s music career being a big success.

Cq, only thing I can think of, is that she puts up with the ‘lonely, dark and disturbing’ because at least it comes with popularity and money. Probably for her, the alternative is still ‘lonely, dark and disturbing’ just in a different way but minus the money and popularity. Sad really. I think it’s the same for many of today’s celebrities, particularly those prone to extremes like her. Sad again.

Ksf, reminds me of this poem which I think is true.
(hope it pastes ok….)

Tell On Yourself…
You tell on yourself by the friends you seek,
By the very manner in which you speak,
By the way you employ your leisure time,
By the use you make of dollar and dime.
You tell what you are by the things you wear,
By the spirit in which you your burdens bear;
By the kind of things at which you laugh,
By the records you play on the phonograph.
You tell what you are by the way you walk;
By the things of which you delight to talk,
By the manner in which you bear defeat,
By so simple a thing as how you eat.
By the books you choose from the well-filled shelf,
In these ways and more, you tell on yourself;

supergrandjudie….that was a typo…should have been DA#2014….anyway….I am wandering tonight….My first musical love from back in the 1970′s is Arlo Guthrie…..I should be at his Hampton Rhoads, VA, concert tonight but alas….I am not , so I am also watching old Arlo YouTube momens….Along with his funky folk rock Arlo sings Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling in Love with You……I would LOVE to hear David sing this song……Miss Vicki

Shanny umm wouldn’t be the first time a guy picked the wrong girl for him.
have no clue if he liked her or anyone for that reason.
except thought him and Eula looked gorgeous together.
hope he goes back for a second round with one of them.
ha to get our tongues wagging again.

Shanny – Great poem and I believe there is truth to it. However, I also believe that you have to be careful not judge too presumptuously or too harshly, especially when you’re critiquing from afar. We only “know” so much. A kind of silly example is that we never thought David used the word *issed and it turns out he did and does. What does that say about him? Should we use that to judge?

Okay. How many times have I said this? I really mean goodnight this time.

ksf~ i agree and like david said~ he does not want to be on a pedestal altho i know we like to put him on one cuz he does seem perfect but like u said~ we really have no idea what he does or how he feels.

Ksf, I hear what you’re saying about judgment. I try not to be judgmental and i’m always open to being pulled up on it, so I can examine myself. Yes, I do think Jasmine does not have the substance david seems to appreciate but that doesn’t mean I think she is bad. I think she is just typical of many young girls – particularly those growing up amongst a fickle entertainment industry. Jasmine has a lot of wonderful things going for her still. She’s outgoing, confident, personable, talented, capable, seems to value family. I think those are wonderful, desirable qualities.

sorry bychance that you feel you have to stay away for a while, I believe I know why you feel the way you do, but I would not let those things keep you away for too long, I have always enjoyed what you have to say. Please don’t let other opinions drive you away from here. Please take care, and hope to hear from you soon.

I feel misjudged a lot of the time. Yes I have standards. Yes I think there are things which will lead a person to true happiness – and many of those things are conservative things. But that doesn’t mean I think people who think or do differently are bad or that they should live according to what I think is correct. I recognise that everyone has different backgrounds, different experiences that affect how they view the world. Plus I try to see the whole person, I don’t just look at one aspect of a person. Just sayin’….

Shanny – I posted that last comment before I saw your last post. I’m sorry that you’ve felt misjudged. As you said, I definitely have to check myself on that too and make sure that I’m not being presumptuous or critical.

I can’t wait for the new album. I already have a CD with Senseless, Not a Very Good Liar, Notice Me, Love Don’t Hate, The Day After Tomorrow, Nothing Else Better to Do, She’s Not You, Power in Purity, Maybe I’m Amazed, Gotta Get Through this, Blackbird, Hey Soul Sister, You’re Eyes Don’t Lie, I’m Yours and Things are Going to Get Better.

Tami Lyn-I was reading your comments…I don’t think David and Jasmine had any real chemistry. It was probably just said to promote Nandito. I do think David probably has feelings for someone he knows, but not her.

Shanny – Aww, all good things must come to an end I suppose. But, I’m the same way when my little one is away. It’s nice but I always miss him like crazy. My husband just shakes his head and says, “Its only a couple of days!” Lol. That’s a Mom for ya.

Shanny – That’s great My sister home schools her kids too. I’ve considered it but if I decide to do it it’ll be down the road. Perhaps middle school. I’m a work-at-home mom so if I homeschooled too that might be a challenge, although my schedule is flexible.

Am I the only one that doesn’t want David to rush into marriage…nothing against him getting married, just him taking his time to date…or I guess that’s not what is done in his world. I just don’t see how he had time to date before he went on his mission.
